AUTHENTIC GREEK RECIPES - THE BOOK

As I mentioned in my post about the Corfu Donkey Rescue, I've decided that I'm going to do some regular posts on issues that I feel we should be aware of - hopefully once a week. If you have anything that you would like me to post about, please let me know.

Today I want to look at The Hunger Site. Until I checked out their site, I didn't realise that they have been going since 1999. They have found an incredibly simple way to use the internet so that people can easily donate to help alleviate hunger - and for free. By just clicking on their button.

Apparently over 300 million visitors have donated more than 500 million cups of food since their foundation.

I know I am shocked by the hunger figures. In a world with a population of 6 billion, 1 billion are suffering from hunger or malnutrition. I really can't believe that we are doing this!

And 24.000 people per day are dying from hunger or hunger-related diseases!! Threequarters of these are children under five!

At least the good news is that the figures are dropping. Twenty years ago, the number was an incredible 41.000!
